AcYut 3

The team, now at the peak of its confidence, went on to upgrade the existing design. They focused on easier control of AcYut and, on a new note, focused on making it capable of being used as a stable platform for further humanoid research.

Thus AcYut 3 was conceived and completed; the next addition to the AcYut series.

AcYut 3 was faster than AcYut 2 and far easier to control, courtesy a new addition to the AcYut design: a tele-operated body suit to be worn by the controller. Any action performed by the controller was mimicked by AcYut 3 making the control of the humanoid much more intuitive.

AcYut - meaning 'The Imperishable' in Sanskrit, is the name of the series of humanoids being developed at the Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems by a team of undergraduates under the guidance of Dr. B.K. Rout at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India.
